When we arrive in the UK, we'll stay in a hotel until we find a place to live (we both have job lined up in the same city), so we won't actually have an address until after we enter the UK. How do we meet the accommodation rule in this way? I'm guessing that we can't be in a particularly unique situation!E-ECP.3.4. The applicant must provide evidence that there will be adequate accommodation, without recourse to public funds, for the family, including other family members who are not included in the application but who live in the same household, which the family own or occupy exclusively: accommodation will not be regarded as adequate if-
(a) it is, or will be, overcrowded; or
(b) it contravenes public health regulations.
A letter from your friend and proof he owns the place is needed. You don't need SU07, but don't forget about Appendix 2 and the financial proof!mick_c wrote:Thank you all for the information, especially about the sponsorship form - it wasn't clear at all that I did not need this. We do intend to settle, so it looks like Sheffield is the best place to send this.
We have a friend sort of near where we are moving to who has an annex/basement apartment attached to his house that offered us the use of. Thankfully, this is the address that my wife used on her visa application. Would a letter from him stating that we can use his property be sufficient, or would we actually need something from the land registry too? Will the Home Office be happy with us staying with a non-family member? The closest family I have to our new jobs are about 450 miles away, in Scotland, so writing that wouldn't be credible...
Thanks again!
Except for the fact that UKVI specifically require bank statements (from you), they don't care about the non-EEA citizens finances and you must have at least the last 6 months pay slips (but it can be more depending on which financial category you are applying under). Again, visas are not about logic, they are a tick box exercise!! Based on what you have told us, unless you supply the evidence, they will have no choice but to refuse your (very expensive) application.mick_c wrote:Thanks! I've filled in Appendix 2 - we both have contracts showing new (UK) jobs and current (US) jobs and we each meet the income requirement, so this should be enough without needing bank statements, etc.
You will need the pay slips, otherwise, as you say, you will be hoping...mick_c wrote:Thank you all again, you've been far more helpful than the Home Office international enquiry service or guidance forms.
My job in the US doesn't actually provide pay slips, so I'm hoping that bank statements, a contract and my US tax forms (equivalent of P60) should suffice?
The turnaround was remarkably fast, and we're cautiously optimistic that we provided everything they needed (and then some!) to make a positive decision on what should have been a straightforward application. Thank you to everyone who contributed advice on this thread, there's no way we would have got our act together without it.Dear XXXXXXXXX,

A decision has been made on your UK Visa application. Your application will be dispatched shortly from the Decision Making Centre in Sheffield, UK. If anyone contacts you advising that your application is still under consideration or that they can influence the outcome of your application in any way, they cannot - please report any such approach to VisaSheffield@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk.
She needs to send all docs from the US within 5 days of her biometric appointment. I would certify the copy of your passport (though not sure if this is required) as it is not a British passport. This can be done at a post office.eclectic wrote:Hi,
I am applying for a settlement visa for my wife from UK- she is currently in US but was with me last year as my tier 1 general dependant - I understand we now have to send the application to Sheffield but I was wondering if I need to send her all the documents to US and she would submit that after her biometric to Sheffield along with passport or can she send me all the documents and I can submit to Sheffield from here? I think the process is slightly different from US? can somebody clarify please
Also, I will be submitting copy of my passport, ILR - do they need to be certified? considering I have once sent copies before for the initial application as dependant on PBS and at a time I did not submit any certified copies.
She has lived here in UK with me for about 2 years as my tier 1 dependant so I am hoping it should be straight forward.
We had some confusion about this: we thought that we had 5 days to submit all of the documents, but they letter that my wife was given at the biometric appointment said that the documents had to be sent within two weeks. We still erred on the side of caution and went with 5 days.physicskate wrote: She needs to send all docs from the US within 5 days of her biometric appointment.

Make sure your wife includes info of maintaining regular contact with you, your financials and accommodation details.
